You're just a moron. These people had an autistic kid who turned out to be a GENIUS. So they ditched the "we're a special needs family" schtick and hitched their star to the boy and moved to nurture his one-day Nobel Prize dreams. Use your head, Kylee. If I had a dollar for every time some loser woman on the internet said "Something doesn't add up" so she can justify believing something completely stupid, I'd be a millionaire.
There is no way natalia was an adult when the barnett’s adopted her. She’s clearly got baby teeth and looks like a child. The age progression from child to adulthood is quite obvious. I can’t believe the courts agreed to change her age to 20 something. This is just ridiculous. Man, our justice system is seriously screwed up in so many ways. The barnett’s should be held responsible for abandoning this child in 2013. It’s just wrong to leave someone behind that you’ve adopted and throw them away like trash. I’m glad that this family is coming out and speaking against the Barnett’s absurd claims .
Except if she was a child back then, she would still be a child now, so it still doesn't make sense. Either way it seems she was older than they were told. I don't think she was 22 back then, but I don't think she was 6 either.
They found the birth mother in the Ukraine. She had the original birth certificate, baby pictures, and everything. The little girl Natalia was telling the truth about her age, and the adoptive parents were the ones who were lying.
As a six year old in a drug house I had to make food for myself, my boyfriend went through a similar childhood and started making his own food since he was 5
Seeing this video changed my entire perspective on this case. I really thought that she was a 30 year old women for a long time but after seeing all of the pictures of her growing up and losing baby teeth, I 100% believe Natalia. It's so obvious now seeing everything. Those parents should remain in jail and it's so sad that the adoption agency didn't have the other family adopt her. They would have loved her and taken amazing care of her all while being in a house special made for people of their stature.
ok this kinda confuses me cause in the other video i saw from the adoptive parents' perspective, they said they thought they were adopting a 6 year old, and when they said she was actually an adult i figured that meant they thought she was like 18-25, did they really think she was 30? did they ever say that? and then they proved she was 16, but doesn't that mean the parents were still lied to as they thought she was 6? very confusing
One thing that's even creepier is that on the video at 1:09 she looks about 35 like bruv, and she talks perfectly if she would've really come from Ukraine or something she would have such an accent ik this, as my grandma is from Ukraine and now when she is almost 60 yrs in the us (she came here when she was 21) you can still hear it.
bine She was born in Ukraine, idk when she went into foster care but don’t you think your point just proves further that she’s could be much younger? If she was moved from Ukraine at a young age she wouldn’t have the accent, but if she was moved at an earlier age the accent would be very thick.
I am a retired RN. I worked in a children's hospital here in the USA. We had girls as young as 3 who had started their periods and had full pubic hair as well as developing breasts. It happens.
I am so glad someone else commented on this. Regardless she is STILL under 18, and STILL their daughter after the adoption. These people should be ashamed they abandoned her, clearly they didn't really love her in the first place. That is sad and abuse. I hope the neglect charges stick.
Poor baby girl its not her fault that she got adopted by some lunatics and had to be put through that so sad. The fact that they ditched her is even worse😪
@@TheBackupUp There's a thing called precocious puberty mate. An early on-set of puberty in children. Sadly that's how the worlds youngest mother happened, I wouldn't suggest looking into it as it's an heartbreaking story. Her having a rare form of dwarfism I believe, can increase the risk of developing it. It can be caused by environmental factors as well. Poor kids been through a lot and I hope the best for her.
They found the birth mother in the Ukraine. She had the original birth certificate, baby pictures, and everything. The little girl Natalia was telling the truth about her age, and the adoptive parents were the ones who were lying. And the adoptive parents embellished and exaggerated the scary stories they made up about Natalia.
@@rainykid9155 Yes, I watched all this on a mainstream news show and I saw it, maybe Inside Edition or 20/20 or something like one of those shows. The mother was bullied into giving her up for adoption by the doctor, and said in her condition she could only have a nice life in America. But after she saw what her baby had been through here, she was upset. Also, that's why this story dropped out of the news - after everyone, and the government authorities here, saw this, it helped them close the case.
@@thatveganchef112 Her adoptive "mom" rented a small house for her in town within walking distance to grocery stores, put some furniture in there for her, and applied & got her adult disability payments in her name. Then soon after the adoptive "parents" left, another lady was walking by on the sidewalk who was a pastor's wife, and she asked Natalia why she was alone outside since she was a little girl. Natalia said she lived there by herself. The lady didn't believe it, so Natalia invited her inside and showed her. The lady felt sorry for her for being by herself, and invited her to come over to her house, since she had kids her age. After she came over, she ended up staying, because she got along so well with their family. Then those parents applied for guardianship of her to stay there, to make sure everything was legal. But the minor guardianship application wasn't approved, because her papers came up as an adult (since the adoptive "mom" had previously requested for her age to be changed to make her an adult). The new parents said it must be a typo since she's a little girl, and asked the courts to correct it. Then that's what tipped off the authorities to look into the situation, found out what had been going on, and everything exploded. Natalia now lives permanently with that pastor's family, like she's one of their kids, and she calls them mom and dad. They said she is very nice.
James Omar yes, I don’t really have a opinion on this case since I didn’t look too deep into it but I see where you’re coming from. No one deserves this. I highly doubt she tried to kill her parents because she’s so small compared to them and it wouldn’t even work in the slightest. Even if she did, you don’t leave a child to fend for themselves were they can’t even reach have the things.
Nahh thats definitely a fake dwarf family created by the Ukranian government to save their asses. No matter how you look at it no pre-pubescent child can also have a monthly cycle. Even if she DID go thru puberty early , then why would she hide it? What girl would hide her monthly cycle?
What if she really is a child, can you imagine living alone in a house where everything is too tall for you. At that age, I would've cried if I can't find my mom at the supermarket. This is really horrible.
You would have cried at 16 if you couldn't find your parents at the supermarket? WTF is wrong with you? I was taking care of myself and my brother at age 12. Some people.
She’s literally grown since then and matured it’s not even a question that she’s not 30 she was young and now she’s getting older there was absolutely no way she was 30
Dr Phil's theory makes sense to me, which is that she wasn't 6 but she wasn't 22 either. Probably somewhere in between, which might explain why she had baby teeth and pubic hair at the same time. Also explains how she managed to take care of herself in that apartment for a whole year.
I truly believe that nobody knows her true age. Dr.Phil even said he doesn't think that Natalia doesn't even know how old she is either. I feel like she is somewhere in the middle also. She doesn't appear to be 30. The parents abandoned her about 6 years ago so sometime has passed now. We have to subtract those years from whatever age she may be at this time.
They were in touch with Barnetts this whole time. Barnetts told them everything was Great w/Natalia. Led them to think she was in Canada w them. Literally concealed Natalia from them.
I’m starting to think she IS actually a teenager. And if she is a teen then this has got to be one of the saddest cases I’ve seen and a lot of people owe her an apology but if she isn’t a teen and is actually an adult she needs to be committed to a psychiatric facility.
Regardless if she was a child or a teen when she started living with the Barnetts, she was minor that needed love and support. Natalia’s life was probably pretty tough and confusing on top of that she suffers from dwarfism and other medical conditions. The lack of compassion in people amazes me, she is being criticized because she is lying about her age when like Dr. Phil said, she probably does not even know it. I think she has issues and is normal not to act normal when your whole childhood has been difficult and different.
billie eilish He/She Isn’t trying to say that she isn’t guilty of trying to kill the parents but rather when the 2 dwarfs were talking about the rationality of another dwarf pushing an average size person doesn’t make sense.
So the scientists can tell how long fossils were on earth and dinosaurs' age but cannot tell a child's age??? Okay. Omg thanks for all the likes guys!! ❤
Carbon dating is only useful for dead things and on top of that its accuracy is in the millenium increment range...worthless for trying to distinguish 15 vs 30 years.
The Barnett family did 2 seperate bone tests. At 2010 a famous endocronolist gave a rapport she was 8 years old. 2 years later the Barnett family went to another doctor to do a bone test the rapport said she was 11. Then they looked for a doctor to change her age. It was Michael his primary doctor that wrote a letter for the court that Natalia was older. But he had no knowledge about dwarfism. So with that letter they went to court and that judge believed them and changed her age from 11 to 22. The judge believed the Barnetts that it was for Natalia the best option. Then the rented an appartement for Natalia and payed only her rent for 3 months not a year. After a month she was already in the care of the Mans family.
Fell for it??? Scientists believe species go extinct from millions of years ago just because their tech can't spot them🤷♂️ people then witness these so called extinct species and prove scientist wrong. It's not about falling for it, it's about scientists and other people being small minded
The dads tweaking eyes in every interview is sketchy as hell lol... As horrific, and sad this is for the poor girl, it's still hysterical. The parents being paranoid, and terrified thinking that she's been an adult the whole time because their lack of understanding her growth is almost funnier that she's really a child. Like when did they have the discussion wether if not she's been an adult the whole time? What created that conversation? I'm willing to bet it was dads theory.
She’s clearly been through a lot of growth and development throughout the years, which she wouldn’t have changed that much if she was really already an adult.
Omg, yes exactly. I thought the same thing. The baby teeth thing , the face, the gestures clearly she was maturing throughout the years and not just an adult with a spinner cap like in a cartoon.
Yeap, that’s what i’ve been saying all along. You can clearly see the age progression from child to adult. I’m amazed at the amount of people who still believe she was an adult at the time she was abandoned. Doesn’t take rocket science to figure it out.
She had baby teeth. I think they wanted a little dwarf girl to look like great parents for their parenting books and when they found out she needed a lot of costly surgeries they wanted to protect their lifestyle. It’s more realistic than some psychopathic scam artist coming here to kill everyone for...? What exactly? So she can go to prison? Lol.
@@natsuuzamaki3871 I've seen that. Like I said, I believe she's a kid. I'm just saying that throwing out the fact she had baby teeth doesn't really prove anything.
I've always wondered on which basis the court accepted the real birthday of Natalia being 1989 and, after the court accepted it what is the value of the document of this family stating is 2003?And why this family also left her at the end?
@Anthony Derderian You cannot get a passport and an immigration visa without a certified birth certificate. She had a birth certificate, the orig birthdate is the same as the one her BioMom has
Hiring puberty doesn’t determine you maturity either . All my cousins started thier periods aged 9 they’re maturity often younger than thier peers on some cases but none were more adult than the average person thier age .
Elle17 Me too. I’m a pretty decent individual with a lot of common sense and consider myself smart but it is something about her that I get this weird feeling when seeing her. Ain’t no telling nowadays.
Abandoned a “child” in a home paid for a year? Wouldn’t they put her in foster care or leave her with different people? No reason to lie and a beyond sketchy situation
@@missmusicforever02 You dont need to be 12 or older to get your period, many people have gotten their period at a young age, and a couple of girls at my school got theirs at around the age of 7
An update on the case: Journal & Courier reported that they did a DNA test with the biological mother and confirmed that Natalia was born in 2003, so she wasn’t lying about her age. Edit: accidentally typed brother, corrected it to mother
HannnahhLaurenn Right? Lmfao if you look deeper into the story, it’s more likely to be a gypsy rose scenario. The mother took that kid to multiple doctors and they ALL said she’s a 2003 baby. It wasn’t till 2016 she apparently found a doctor that said she’s older, and they abandoned her in Canada in 2014 dgdhdhd It’s much harder to find this info now cause the insane mother’s side of the story is what went viral, but it’s out there lmfao. The mother sold her story to some news site and no one else did any research to verify, they just wanted to cash in with what people wanted to hear 😑
She is not, and the dwarf family is not being honest about the teeth development in dwarf people, which tend to be late: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/271924 She was a teen+, with period and everything, faking to be 6 yrs old
Empress 24 There’s also the fact they took the kid to multiple doctors and they ALL said she was definitely a 2003 kid, but the parents went ahead legally changed her age, claiming the doctors all said she’s 28...but yeah two random people’s claims (that happen to exactly line up with a movie plot that was released shortly before their claims) is definitely the more logical side to this story- Both parents have been caught in several lies lmfao. It doesn’t matter if one or two of their claims line up with plausible facts, they’ve BSed too much for anything they say to be taken seriously. Natalia is aging normally for someone with dwarfism, they don’t look 8 until they’re 25 and then start to develop as a teen/young adult LMFAO
Lissa Live because not only did the doctors determine that she was well older than the original birth certificate and it was falsified, but so did the courts. Two bone destiny scans, one dentists and multiple other medical professionals have came up with the same conclusion, even Natalia ADMITTING it to medical professionals
@@AngelOfMusic20 no it's not... they know what she goes through and know best how to take care of her because they have the same condition. just because your skin is a different color means nothing compared
@@mads7359 That movie came out before they adopted her. The writer has said it was inspired by a Barbora Skrlova. But the storyline is purely fiction. Barbora didn’t trick a family into adopting her
Haven’t looked into this case in a while, but didn’t they adopt her and claim that she was an adult before that movie came out? Edit: just looked into it; the movie came out in 2009 (thought it was 2013 for some reason), so before they adopted her. Still, the whole situation is strange.
The photo of her with the growing front tooth pretty much seals it for me. Her smile is totally normal now, so clearly that was just a normal adult tooth growing in a normal child's mouth.
4 years later, it has been proven that she was a child and as of 2024 is currently 22 years old. She was 9, and thankfully now people won’t make theories that she’s an adult.
I am so confused with this story I mean first she was a kid then she wasn’t and now she is again and the doctors need to get it straight also because one said she was older and one said she was a child so confusing 🤔
She was a child when they adopted her. Now she would have been 16 years old. “Abandonment” happened years ago. Adoptive parents claimed she was an adult pretending to be 6 years old when they adopted her.
Whatever it is, she wasnt the age she claimed to be. So i dont care if she was abandoned or not cause neighbors took care of her for awhile. Bottom line if she threatened to kill, id kill her first. No “6” year old openly tells her adoptive parents she wants to kill them
I absolutely believe that the family that left her just didn’t want to care for her anymore. They probably felt like her medical needs were getting in the way of them living the life they wanted to live. The girls birth mother proved that she was born in 2003, doctors here have confirmed that she is in fact born in 2003. That family absolutely paid people off to try and “prove” that she is an adult.
@Mr. Perfect The interview she did with her new adoptive family is where her new adoptive mom says they took her to the doctors and they confirmed her age and that she was indeed born in 2003
@@allehope1917 They were probably ashamed of her dwarfism. Were they not informed that she had the condition? If so, the Orphanage in Ukraine should take the blame as well.
The parents who thought she was an adult probably watched “Orphan” and couldn’t get that idea out of their head lol Poor girl. The parents used their suspicion as an excuse
Oops I wrote my comment just before I saw yours. So true cannot agree more it’s literally the plot of orphan implanted into this girl. So sad as it has affected her life in many terrible ways.
Bless her heart. I’m so sick of people saying she couldn’t have coped being left as an 8 year old. Well until you walk in another’s shoes you do not know. She was clearly in survival mode. I really sincerely hope she is happy now.
Yeah, 'she lived the whole year alone' Like wtf, they say it like it was a pure joy of an experience for her. I'm sure it wasn't even close to it, but It's so relieving to know that at least neighbors somewhat were helping her.
Take away that the tooth picture proofs that she was a child - you can literally see her aging through out the pictures. You can clearly see her getting more and more mature looking, the face changes A LOT, matures visually in those few years, exactly like a child.
@@wifislilpeach i work with kids you should see the faces and height of some of these 13 yr old looking 16 or 17. Im 26 and ppl mistake me for 15 . You cant judge it by features alone. Also compare her face to the adults faces in this video she def doesnt look as old as them
Hold up, if she was born in 2003 then adopted in like 2009 she’s 6 -7 then the family had her for like 10 years of course she’s going to grow up. Now she’s 16 or 17.
Also keep in mind that she was never really by herself. The Barnett’s were checking in with her regularly during that year and the had a home health aid company helping her daily. She was considered handicapped so was never alone.
Yes when I first saw this in the news I thought she was probably lying about being a child and was really an adult. There as no way to make a comparison for how she looked prior to being adopted because there were no pictures. Now though she does look like an older teenager. So maybe she was telling the truth all along. It is hard to say. It would be nice if they could find a real birth certificate with her real birthdate. Plus her actual biological parents.
My observations tell me that if she was already a grown woman when she got to them. Wouldn’t she have been done growing? Ermmmmm ... she grew in comparison to the older photos

@@iwanagohome326 how does someone do a DNA test and find out their age through blood or skin tissue??!?!! she does not have a biological brother and i thought she was an orphan?? back to my first question.
Its not just the baby teeth. I mean look at that video of her currently, where she's very uhm matured in her figure. The pictures from the Barnetts adoption showed that she certainly had not gone through puberty yet
@@SavageThrifter If she is delayed in her growth that is true about her teeth as well and the adopted parents confirmed she had her menstrual cycle and a full bush bellow at 9
No that not how it works my father is a dentist and by the teeth you can clearly see she is a child! Or was. Now she is 16. Her parents should stay in jail for ever. I has my period by 8!!!
The wife interrupted when the host asked if they ever had suspicion of her being an adult, and the husband had the look of someone who had something to say. But of course his wife shut him down lol
1:36 You mean when the host asked them both a question, a long pause, and so the wife spoke and the guy pretended he had something to say only after she spoke? She couldn't see his face and he didn't make a sound. How from her perspective did she interrupt him? You idiots remind me of those insecure people who say "What's your favorite color? But let's answer at the same time!" "Re-" "RED! OMG RED IS MY FAVORITE TOO!"' "-d." The husband wasn't actually saying anything. He was mentally still reacting to the thought of a child being an adult. But because the interview is a verbal activity and the wife waited long enough, she answered. Case closed.
@only destiel The guy in the video, Vince, has been commenting in the comments section and he absolutely thinks that Natalia was a 6 yr old when she was visiting in His Home. No doubts.
I was disappointed with the dr. phil interview. It seems like he just believes her with no proof. Someone please get some more accurate scientific evidence of her age please, or at least take a lie detector test or something we can’t just pick a side to listen to with no evidence
rachel faith but those ppl didn’t just assume she was older and leave her. They took her to several doctors, got bone scans, the court legally changed her age also. She also is definitely not from the Ukraine.
Also rachel, my own niece at age 13 was told by the dentist that she had a full set of "adult" teeth and that she appeared to have teeth of a full grown adult. We were also constantly challenged to prove at restaurants and movie theaters that she was a child since she looked like a full grown 18 year old at the time. It is very difficult. We think that we can tell by teeth how old a person is but it's not 100% reliable. I don't think she's 30 but she wasn't 8 when abandoned. The family claims they have documentation that she had reached puberty physically, had body hair and was also menstruating. At 8?
I mean their real daughter has dwarfism too so no wonder they “look the same” but how is it that they’re now “2years” apart and she has a kid face and Natalia looks like a grown woman
Her adoptive family that took her in afterwards say in the seven years she's been with them she's never had a period. Not that this isn't possible but it sounds to me like the adoptive family that abandoned her added that detail falsely to make their case.
Whether she’s 30 or was a child when they abandoned her, she was still a dependent and has a disability. How is it right to leave a disabled person to live alone?
I think that's the real reason for the arrest of the parents. She's a "dependent" adult in the laws eyes and can't survive on her own without help and the parents abandoned her.
she was an adult, and not handicapped. The dwarf family is not being honest about the late development and replace of teeth, in dwarf people: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/271924

Seeing this video changed my entire perspective on this case. I really thought that she was a 30 year old women for a long time but after seeing all of the pictures of her growing up and losing baby teeth, I 100% believe Natalia. It's so obvious now seeing everything. Those parents should remain in jail and it's so sad that the adoption agency didn't have the other family adopt her. They would have loved her and taken amazing care of her all while being in a house special made for people of their stature.
her birth mother came forwards as well and has the original birth certificate, baby pics and everything!! she is 16
ok this kinda confuses me cause in the other video i saw from the adoptive parents' perspective, they said they thought they were adopting a 6 year old, and when they said she was actually an adult i figured that meant they thought she was like 18-25, did they really think she was 30? did they ever say that? and then they proved she was 16, but doesn't that mean the parents were still lied to as they thought she was 6? very confusing

One thing that's even creepier is that on the video at 1:09 she looks about 35 like bruv, and she talks perfectly if she would've really come from Ukraine or something she would have such an accent ik this, as my grandma is from Ukraine and now when she is almost 60 yrs in the us (she came here when she was 21) you can still hear it.
bine She was born in Ukraine, idk when she went into foster care but don’t you think your point just proves further that she’s could be much younger? If she was moved from Ukraine at a young age she wouldn’t have the accent, but if she was moved at an earlier age the accent would be very thick.

Thats actually what happened. The movie came out a year before they made the claims.

They found the birth mother in the Ukraine. She had the original birth certificate, baby pictures, and everything.

And the adoptive parents embellished and exaggerated the scary stories they made up about Natalia.
Really?
@@rainykid9155 Yes, I watched all this on a mainstream news show and I saw it, maybe Inside Edition or 20/20 or something like one of those shows. The mother was bullied into giving her up for adoption by the doctor, and said in her condition she could only have a nice life in America. But after she saw what her baby had been through here, she was upset. Also, that's why this story dropped out of the news - after everyone, and the government authorities here, saw this, it helped them close the case.

How did she survive own her own then? This is bull
@@thatveganchef112 Her adoptive "mom" rented a small house for her in town within walking distance to grocery stores, put some furniture in there for her, and applied & got her adult disability payments in her name. Then soon after the adoptive "parents" left, another lady was walking by on the sidewalk who was a pastor's wife, and she asked Natalia why she was alone outside since she was a little girl. Natalia said she lived there by herself. The lady didn't believe it, so Natalia invited her inside and showed her. The lady felt sorry for her for being by herself, and invited her to come over to her house, since she had kids her age. After she came over, she ended up staying, because she got along so well with their family. Then those parents applied for guardianship of her to stay there, to make sure everything was legal. But the minor guardianship application wasn't approved, because her papers came up as an adult (since the adoptive "mom" had previously requested for her age to be changed to make her an adult). The new parents said it must be a typo since she's a little girl, and asked the courts to correct it. Then that's what tipped off the authorities to look into the situation, found out what had been going on, and everything exploded. Natalia now lives permanently with that pastor's family, like she's one of their kids, and she calls them mom and dad. They said she is very nice.

Exactly. She changed in a way only a child changes when is growing up.
Dr Phil's theory makes sense to me, which is that she wasn't 6 but she wasn't 22 either. Probably somewhere in between, which might explain why she had baby teeth and pubic hair at the same time. Also explains how she managed to take care of herself in that apartment for a whole year.
I truly believe that nobody knows her true age. Dr.Phil even said he doesn't think that Natalia doesn't even know how old she is either. I feel like she is somewhere in the middle also. She doesn't appear to be 30. The parents abandoned her about 6 years ago so sometime has passed now. We have to subtract those years from whatever age she may be at this time.

Regardless if she was a child or a teen when she started living with the Barnetts, she was minor that needed love and support.

The lack of compassion in people amazes me, she is being criticized because she is lying about her age when like Dr. Phil said, she probably does not even know it.

Carbon dating is only useful for dead things and on top of that its accuracy is in the millenium increment range...worthless for trying to distinguish 15 vs 30 years.
The Barnett family did 2 seperate bone tests. At 2010 a famous endocronolist gave a rapport she was 8 years old. 2 years later the Barnett family went to another doctor to do a bone test the rapport said she was 11. Then they looked for a doctor to change her age. It was Michael his primary doctor that wrote a letter for the court that Natalia was older. But he had no knowledge about dwarfism. So with that letter they went to court and that judge believed them and changed her age from 11 to 22. The judge believed the Barnetts that it was for Natalia the best option. Then the rented an appartement for Natalia and payed only her rent for 3 months not a year. After a month she was already in the care of the Mans family.
😂😂😂😂
The doctors did tests they said she was a child. How they got away with this is a mystery

Like when did they have the discussion wether if not she's been an adult the whole time? What created that conversation? I'm willing to bet it was dads theory.
She’s clearly been through a lot of growth and development throughout the years, which she wouldn’t have changed that much if she was really already an adult.

Yeap, that’s what i’ve been saying all along. You can clearly see the age progression from child to adult. I’m amazed at the amount of people who still believe she was an adult at the time she was abandoned. Doesn’t take rocket science to figure it out.

I think her adopted parents just wanted to get rid of her.
I totally agree once they saw her disability I don't think they wanted because she looks like a child
Really? There is so much proof that she is not a child. Why would they adopt just to abandon?

@Mr. Perfect The interview she did with her new adoptive family is where her new adoptive mom says they took her to the doctors and they confirmed her age and that she was indeed born in 2003
@Mr. Perfect Yeah I thought that was strange too. I definitely feel like they lied about a lot of things to make themselves look innocent!
@@allehope1917 They were probably ashamed of her dwarfism. Were they not informed that she had the condition? If so, the Orphanage in Ukraine should take the blame as well.
no way that blonde girl is 14
U like blondes?

The parents who thought she was an adult probably watched “Orphan” and couldn’t get that idea out of their head lol
Poor girl. The parents used their suspicion as an excuse
@@z_.5557 No. The Barnetts alibi was inspired by Orphan, which came out a year before they adopted this girl who was in fact a 6 yr old child in 2010
@@z_.5557 fact check please
Oops I wrote my comment just before I saw yours. So true cannot agree more it’s literally the plot of orphan implanted into this girl. So sad as it has affected her life in many terrible ways.
Orphan was inspired by this story.
@@real_womanonamission9528 no it wasn’t it came out a whole year before they adopted her
The dwarf family looks cute
thats so random lol
oh yeaaa
true that
Pretty offensive tbh
Okay buddy
Lowkey glad this family was nice enough to speak up for this girl hope she gets justice
So maybe she wasn't six, there still NO WAY they could mistake her for a 30 year old adult. 🤦🏽♀️
No they thought she was 22 back then
I know right 🤦🏽
Then how would she age and how baby teeth grow in they're a lot more facts you missed
they probably watched the orphan
Bless her heart. I’m so sick of people saying she couldn’t have coped being left as an 8 year old. Well until you walk in another’s shoes you do not know. She was clearly in survival mode. I really sincerely hope she is happy now.
Yeah, 'she lived the whole year alone'
Like wtf, they say it like it was a pure joy of an experience for her. I'm sure it wasn't even close to it, but It's so relieving to know that at least neighbors somewhat were helping her.
exactly
I could be trick or treating but I’m watching this instead
Bobross’s Littlebitch this made me laugh lol
Bobross’s Littlebitch lol
“They left her in the house by herself in a tall kitchen” lmaoooooo😭😂😂
when someone has dwarfism DNA does not work
Us little people it is tall
whats so funny about that Alicia?
@@magdayamin2955 laugh or move along weirdo
there is nothing funny about that, you're making fun of their disability, you're just sick
Take away that the tooth picture proofs that she was a child - you can literally see her aging through out the pictures. You can clearly see her getting more and more mature looking, the face changes A LOT, matures visually in those few years, exactly like a child.
Exactly!!!
I agree
But her face NOW at age 16 looks old. Like an adult
Not to mention the way she talks. I think she’s an adult
@@wifislilpeach i work with kids you should see the faces and height of some of these 13 yr old looking 16 or 17. Im 26 and ppl mistake me for 15 . You cant judge it by features alone. Also compare her face to the adults faces in this video she def doesnt look as old as them
she's definitely a kid when she was abandoned. look how much she's grown over the years after that.
THANK YOU!!! Why does nobody have common sense to see that?
Hold up, if she was born in 2003 then adopted in like 2009 she’s 6 -7 then the family had her for like 10 years of course she’s going to grow up. Now she’s 16 or 17.
@veronica carlson she lived by herself for a month or a half only.. Checked the other interview of her new family who checked on her apartment
Also keep in mind that she was never really by herself. The Barnett’s were checking in with her regularly during that year and the had a home health aid company helping her daily. She was considered handicapped so was never alone.
There’s way more to this story that’s being left out
honestly, truly.
kyleKL go watch it on dr Phil it goes more in depth
TheKerahaan do you know if it has aired ? I want to see it.
She looks a lot older in the new pictures of her with her new family.
....Because she is older..she's 16 now as stated several times in the video.. dwarfs too can age ...shocking i know.
Yes when I first saw this in the news I thought she was probably lying about being a child and was really an adult. There as no way to make a comparison for how she looked prior to being adopted because there were no pictures. Now though she does look like an older teenager. So maybe she was telling the truth all along. It is hard to say. It would be nice if they could find a real birth certificate with her real birthdate. Plus her actual biological parents.
Because it has been 7 years
@@LindsL08 Ur response was so extra, relax.
@@NikkiC777 actually the bio mom from Ukraine did come forward and verified that the daughter is in deed around 16-17.
I’m glad this has come to light !!
They probably watched The Orphan and made it their own story to justify why they abandoned her. So sad. Hope she has a better home now.
I was hoping I wasn't the only one realizing they stole the entire story from a movie that came out in 2009
Yessssssss😂😂😂
exactly what i thought
😂🤣🤣 I just commented this 😂😂
Birth:2003
Adopted:2010
Age when adopted:7
Duh!she was a kid when adopted!
My observations tell me that if she was already a grown woman when she got to them. Wouldn’t she have been done growing? Ermmmmm ... she grew in comparison to the older photos
she was likely a teenager when they got her.. but not 6
She didn’t grow in any photo she’s a dwarf she can’t u idiot
"An update on the case: Journal & Courier reported that they did a DNA test with the biological brother and confirmed that Natalia was born in 2003, so she wasn’t lying about her age."
@@iwanagohome326 how does someone do a DNA test and find out their age through blood or skin tissue??!?!! she does not have a biological brother and i thought she was an orphan?? back to my first question.
@@iwanagohome326 Journal & Courier = some news paper = not some DNA LAB don't try and confuse people.
I can't imagine how the daughter must feel. The people who took her in and suppose to love her and now this..
The baby teeth seals the deal for me
Its not just the baby teeth. I mean look at that video of her currently, where she's very uhm matured in her figure. The pictures from the Barnetts adoption showed that she certainly had not gone through puberty yet
@@SavageThrifter If she is delayed in her growth that is true about her teeth as well and the adopted parents confirmed she had her menstrual cycle and a full bush bellow at 9
No that not how it works my father is a dentist and by the teeth you can clearly see she is a child! Or was. Now she is 16. Her parents should stay in jail for ever. I has my period by 8!!!
Yup. She was a kid and now is a teen. Wow.
Black Heart you can begin menstruating as young as 8. Mines began at 9.
She was 6 as of 2010, the Barnett’s thought she would be 6 forever as it seems
Haha, Best comment. That is maybe why they also chose her as with Dwarfism... Lol
The wife interrupted when the host asked if they ever had suspicion of her being an adult, and the husband had the look of someone who had something to say. But of course his wife shut him down lol
yup i saw that lmao
1:36 You mean when the host asked them both a question, a long pause, and so the wife spoke and the guy pretended he had something to say only after she spoke? She couldn't see his face and he didn't make a sound. How from her perspective did she interrupt him?
You idiots remind me of those insecure people who say "What's your favorite color? But let's answer at the same time!"
"Re-"
"RED! OMG RED IS MY FAVORITE TOO!"'
"-d."
The husband wasn't actually saying anything. He was mentally still reacting to the thought of a child being an adult. But because the interview is a verbal activity and the wife waited long enough, she answered. Case closed.
@@VideoMenu,
@only destiel The guy in the video, Vince, has been commenting in the comments section and he absolutely thinks that Natalia was a 6 yr old when she was visiting in His Home. No doubts.
@@smithdawn1 I feel bad that you had to read these
I pray she is well and gets over this terrible experience
She will be on dr Phil Thursday November 7, 2019 to give her side of the story so let’s see how that goes
Azstar Lovebug omg wait really?!
Lacey LaVonne yes! I’m definitely tuning in on that to see what happens because I’m sooo confused on this story!
Idk i watched dr phil and thought she was lying but this inside edition got me thinking she told the truth
Dr phil isnt even a licensed psycologist
I was disappointed with the dr. phil interview. It seems like he just believes her with no proof. Someone please get some more accurate scientific evidence of her age please, or at least take a lie detector test or something we can’t just pick a side to listen to with no evidence
The girls look alike.... And they look the same age. I think she's a child. You can't fake a baby tooth..
rachel faith but those ppl didn’t just assume she was older and leave her. They took her to several doctors, got bone scans, the court legally changed her age also. She also is definitely not from the Ukraine.
Also rachel, my own niece at age 13 was told by the dentist that she had a full set of "adult" teeth and that she appeared to have teeth of a full grown adult. We were also constantly challenged to prove at restaurants and movie theaters that she was a child since she looked like a full grown 18 year old at the time. It is very difficult. We think that we can tell by teeth how old a person is but it's not 100% reliable. I don't think she's 30 but she wasn't 8 when abandoned. The family claims they have documentation that she had reached puberty physically, had body hair and was also menstruating. At 8?
@@Charly-in-the-808 I had pubic hair and started my period at 8...so...🤷♀️
I mean their real daughter has dwarfism too so no wonder they “look the same” but how is it that they’re now “2years” apart and she has a kid face and Natalia looks like a grown woman
Charly it’s reliable enough
Do they realize that you can get your period at any age? My sister got it at 8 too. Like wtf these people just wanted money
Lina Medina got hers at about 3 years old
Her adoptive family that took her in afterwards say in the seven years she's been with them she's never had a period. Not that this isn't possible but it sounds to me like the adoptive family that abandoned her added that detail falsely to make their case.
@@Nixxle yeah
@@Nixxle she must be going through menopause
I was 11
A whole community let this little girl down
Whether she’s 30 or was a child when they abandoned her, she was still a dependent and has a disability. How is it right to leave a disabled person to live alone?
Ruby V the kid also tried to poison the mom with pinesol, I wouldn’t have abandoned her but she would have went to the adoption center asap
I think that's the real reason for the arrest of the parents. She's a "dependent" adult in the laws eyes and can't survive on her own without help and the parents abandoned her.
So what would you do if she tried killing you and your whole family???
@@lillyc7861 dwarfism does not make someone dependent.
she was an adult, and not handicapped.
The dwarf family is not being honest about the late development and replace of teeth, in dwarf people:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/271924
This girl is like the real “orphan” from the “Orphan” movie
Because the 14 year old daughter remembers natalia
Sebastian Bui you clearly did not watch the whole video
Because her friend is 14
Those people was terrified of her behavior and the things she said ...I believe them....They packed up and got the hell outta there....Lmao.... Only because she was faking it
@@rolondamills2898 they packed up and moved to Canada for their biological son, to go to a school that was able to offer more for his future. I highly doubt this girl is as dangerous as the Barnetts claim. Let's hear what the kids have to say, it's all a falsified story to get out of abandonment charges.
"For someone who can't walk without assistance how could she push an average sized person or live in an apartment designed for a little person?" well Idk..ask her how she lived for over a year on her own....without assistance to walk.
She did not live by herself, she was care for after the neighbors realized she was abandoned by her parents.
She ate canned food n only use the microwave..
And if she was a sociopath.. she would not tell the Bannets that she wants to kill.. She just kill em if she wanted to.. and not to mention her size.. 🤦🏻♀️
for a year the barnet had assistant take care for her, after that they moved her to another apartement without it for a month or so before the current family started took care of her, see dr phill interview
She looks very young in the photos with the family. You can tell she was a child.
